"vote your conscience" was in cruz's prepared remarks, vetted by whoever vets these things.

Okay, not everyone. They definitely should have consulted any of the delegates, anyone on cable news, or KK.

This story will get reported like hell, so no point speculating. If Trump really went in there just thinking he could alpha Cruz in to an endorsement with the threat of booing, it is so LOL.

There is literally no one else of note that holds that view. Not even Newt Gingrich who ad-libbed a tourniquet on Trump's legs that had been chopped off at the knees.

people are letting the audience reaction color the content of cruz's speech.

he read his remarks very nearly as written. if you think his speech was an open attack on trump, you need to explain why trump's campaign signed off on it.

btw, silver tweeted that he felt cruz's pauses gave the delivered speech a meaning unclear from the written speech. seems like giving pausing a lot of credit, to me.

Cruz really knows how to use a smug grin to send subliminal messages. Also very good at pausing to nod his head.

Even if it is 100% hindsight, they obviously made a major miscalculation one way or another.

Again, I think the story of that will get reported. I don't know whether there was an understanding that Cruz would endorse in a more substantive way or not. There is early reporting that the Trump campaign organized the New York delegation booing. If that was the totality of the gameplan, that is crazy.

Tomorrow night will be the best night of the convention, you won't be disappointed.

Kat Kid · « **Reply #474 on:** July 20, 2016, 10:29:26 PM »

Christie is now trashing Cruz. Walker just said he should've held up the pledge. That makes it seem like a surprise.

Trump said he "loved" Cruz's speech. So as usual, LOL the campaign has no idea what is going on.
